 Distance learning 👀

I have enjoyed distance learning because even though there are due dates for assignments, it feels more freeing to my schedule. I work on assignments at my own pace, resulting in better quality work. I dislike how difficult it is to get in contact with my peers though. In my future classroom, on the first day/days I want to set up a class Groupme and have everybody join. This makes class interactions easier, as well as quicker than email. 

OER 💻

Open educational resources (OER)'s, are resources available online that can be used, edited, and shared for free in educational settings. They can be games, lesson plans, assignment templates and more. Click here to view a website with over 100 OER's. They have resources available for the main subjects in elementary learning. 

PowerPoint 💬

I have really enjoyed working on the PowerPoint projects in this class. I learned how to use SmartArt, record presentations, and have gained a better general understanding of the PowerPoint application. I know I can improve my use of pictures so this is a skill I want to work on. Attached are screenshots of my PowerPoint presentations, Fifth Grade Art Jeopardy is not yet fully completed.

If I end up in a elementary/middle school English/language arts teacher, I will send out surveys to students using these tools and optional surveys for parents to get to know them better.  Interesting Topics😀 I find the most interesting thing about other blogs is seeing the different perspectives my classmates have on websites we all used as well as blogging. I enjoyed blogging but I did not enjoy pbworks. For some students this differs. It's inspiring to see what my peers plan on incorporating in their classrooms, everybody produces such high quality work! Digital Badges and Tech-Flex💻 I did not participate in tech-flex or digital badges but after reading about it, they seem beneficial to un

  Diigo🐟 I liked using Diigo for sharing useful educational resources. The website was user friendly to create an account with as well as the bookmark function. I may continue to use Diigo if my future colleagues are in groups with me so we can share interesting new resources. So far, this class has introduced me to some cool interactive websites! Blogging🐓 I also enjoy blogging! I like how casual this style of discussion feels compared to a typical discussion board. Blogger is easy to use and it is easy to interact with other students blog posts. The posts I read also seem to be more genuine than those on a typical discussion board. I hope others are enjoying this style of discussion as well! Web 2.0📲 One of my favorite web 2.0 tools is YouTube. I like to go on YouTube in my free time to watch interesting/entertaining videos rather than T.V and even sometimes more than other streaming apps (like Netflix). You can find a numerous amount of videos available for any topic and can inte
